KSDK -- A local firefighter is in stable ...

Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.

My brother Joe just retired as a firefighter in the metro Detroit area.
This was one of my fears.

For all those who have never read the firemans prayer,
Here it is;

FIREFIGHTER'S PRAYER
When I'm called to duty God wherever flames may rage
grant me the strength to save a life whatever be its age
Help me to embrace a little child before it is too late
or save an older person from the horror of that fate
Enable me to be alert to hear the weakest shout
and quickly and efficiently put the fire out
I want to fill my calling Lord and give the best in me
to guard my every neighbor and protect his property
And if according to your will I am to lose my life
God bless with your protecting hand my children and my wife

As a former firefighter I hate to read these types of stories. I hope he has some of the best medical professionals doing their best to save his life.

Amen.

When I was doing EMT-P rotations way back when, we did some time inthe burn unit at our referral hospital. One thing I always appreciated about them was that no matter what, the burn unit was never closed to a firefighter and that if a firefighter was admitted the director of the unit was paged to attend the case no matter what time of day or night it was.
